hey. i have pro tools le, but sometimes i write a song and just wanna
program that i can run, use the built in speaker on my macbook pro, and
be able to record an initial guitar track, overdub a vocal, maybe a lead
track.. something i can boot up fast so i can record a song quickly..
(before i switched to the mac i used a program called n-track that's
only for windows and it worked perfectly.)

it doesn't have to have any bells or whistles, freeware would be
preferable..

thanks,

all new macs come with Garage Band, so you already have a free program

Try Audacity. It feels like a 2-track application that someone has grafted
some multitrack stuff onto, but it will do what you want and is free.

Or Garage Band....

cool. this works perfect. never even thought to go into the garageband
settings and set them to the built in audio.

is there a program that can record from the built in sound card (i.e. if
i was watching a movie and i wanted to record a quote that's being
playing through the built-in sound card).

thanks again. HUGE help!!
